    Haha Stefan! that Raymon Norza Pro makes more sense! Bosch 600W 60Nm mid-drive. Well, at least you held a KOM! I never even try, as I live in an area with intense cyclists. and laugh at segment KOMs that are 25% of my time. I won't even try. I only see it afterwards on Strava. Oh, I forgot...

    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    Stefan, it is so great that you ride so much, to have stories!! Love it! I am trying to do that myself. Flats happen. Regardless of tire set up.

    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    Stefan, you and Ollie can make a Tube Team. I get it. But I am also a bit surprised, as I am a mostly incompetent mechanic and have employed tubeless since my first tubeless set up with with my Santa Cruz Tallboy in 2015. and on a scale of 1 to 10. I rate my own mechanical skills at a solid 6.75...

    Anyone converted their Turbo Vado to tubeless tires?

    Ah, you did mean the shop-sized version, the Airshot is just a compact portable version. The key is the tire to rim combo as already mentioned above by others, and solved by the OP with a new rim....Hahah, not the solution I was expecting, but problem solved!
